Me Before You

Chapter 21

Anna put down all the things, sat aside and gasped for a moment, she looked tired. Daniel Taylor looked at her tired expressions. Her expressions showed that today she really went for shopping.

Anna Stark went to the kitchen and said to their maid, "Aunt Lisa, I'll cook in the evening. You have some rest." NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

"You will cook?" The maid looked at Anna Stark and asked.

Anna Stark looked at her and smiled. "Yes, I am a good cook. Right, Mr. Smith?”

"Yes, she is." Before hiring Anna Stark for the villa, Jack Smith had tested her cooking skills, so he gave affirmation to her talent.

After Jack Smith's affirmation, their maid, Aunt Lisa also felt relieved but she didn't leave Anna alone. She stood nearby and stared at her. She was worried about her because Anna was a little girl, who was only eighteen years old. Aunt Lisa didn’t think that she can cook.

Although Aunt Lisa was a good cook and was cooking for years, her own daughter was more than twenty years old and couldn't even cook a meal well.

Aunt Lisa was shocked after seeing Anna stark working so well in the kitchen. Anna cooked the meal and cleaned the kitchen as well. She put everything at its place.

"Sir, Dinner is ready." Daniel Taylor was working on the computer when he heard Anna Stark calling him.

He shut down the computer and went to the living room. When he came over, he saw that Anna Stark had made a lot of dishes.

Aunt Lisa was standing beside her and praising her, "Miss Stark is really brilliant. She made all these dishes alone."

The maid had been serving been in the Taylor family for many years but she never thought that Daniel Taylor would marry such a girl. At such a young age, she saw very few girls who can cook well.

Anna Stark took chopsticks and gave it to the maid, "Aunt Lisa, you can eat with us together."

Although she was a servant she was about the same age as Anna Stark's mother. That’s why Anna Stark was very polite when she talked to her.

"No, Miss Anna thank you, please you eat."

"Please sit down with us." Anna Stark said, "It would be good if you eat with us. Am I right Sir?"

Anna looked at Daniel Taylor and hoped to get his consent.

Daniel Taylor replied, "Yes, sure."

Daniel would have no issue if his wife wanted to do this.

Aunt Lisa looked at Daniel. She was surprised by how he agreed? She was a servant, in Taylor's house and servants never shared the table with family members. The Taylor’s had no such tradition.

"Now, Miss Stark has said that, please sit down. We are not in Taylor's house. You can join us," Jack Smith said.

Aunt Lisa listened to Jack Smit and sat down. This was the first time she had a meal on the same table with Daniel Taylor. She was extremely nervous.

But Anna Stark was happy because she wasn't afraid of Daniel Taylor at all. She served the food to Daniel. "Sir, taste this. It's delicious."

Daniel had done so many things for Anna, but he didn’t remember anything because whatever he did was because of the fact that she was his wife. He didn’t realize that Anna made all this to express her gratitude.

Daniel Taylor tasted, and the taste was really good, "Yummy!"

Delicious!

Anna Stark smiled happily, "Yes! I'm a good cook. I've been very good at cooking since I was a child. Every time someone tastes my food, they always praised me for my cooking skills. Tell me, should I change my profession and become a good chef?"

She was proudly expressing her skills.

Daniel Taylor looked up at her happy face. It was not an easy task to stay in the kitchen and work constantly for two to three hours.

He stretched out his hand and grabbed her hand.
